GOOD OLD TIMES"
Wage.Slayes Always Slaves and
Poor.

The condition of the wage class in 1900
may he well examined, for it is full of
instruction. In the great cities unskilled
workmen were hired by the day, bought
their own fiod, and found their oAn
lodgings. But in the country, on the
farms. or wherever, hand was EN-
ployed on some public work, they were
fed and lodged by the employer and
given few dollars month. On the
pennsy lvania canals the diggers ate the
coarsest diet, were housed in the rudest
sheds and paid SO IA month from May to
Der to May. Hodcarriers and mortar
mixers. diggers and choppers, who, from
1888 to 1900, labored on the public build
ings and cut the streets and avenues of
Washington City, received $40 a year,
or. il they wished, $50 for all the work
they could perform ON March | to De
cemher 20. The hours of work were in.
variahly from sunrise to sunset.
Wages at Albany and New York were
$ shillings, or, as money then went, 40
cents day; at Lancaster, s. to $40 a
month; elsewhere in Pennsylvania
workmen were content with So in sum

men were glad to be hired at Is pence {

of labor was from So to 81. In Virgins
white men employed by the year wer,
given el6 currency; slaves, when hired
were clothed and their masters paid {
a month. A pound of Virginia monel

over was therefore s65 year with food

To the W0kmcHS ldrOrdfe:
have lust read DR.. DOuais article,
According to him Karl Marx says that
labor imparts to all commodities eN-
change values, and labor only. Is tins
true proposition? | contend that IT IL
labor in combination with skill or genus
which gives exchange values to co!nmod-
tiles. TO illustrate, here are two blocks
of marble of equal value. An ordinary
stone-eutter can make out Of them com
modities worth few hundred dollars
A sculptor of genius can with the same
amount of labor make out Of the other
block "A statue worth ten thousand dol
lars. An ordinary man works week
and makes commodities worth to the
world twenty dollars. An inventor
works week and makes new machine
worth to the world millions Of dollars.
Is it not clear then that it IL labor com
bined with the skill or genius OF the
workman which impartS eXchanSeable
values, and not labor alone.
If Karl Marx had started ont with the
above true proposition could he have
come TO the conclusions he did come to
when he started out with the proposition
that labor alone imparts yaluet AND
does he not lose sight Of the fact thai
the labor of some men il worth ten,
| hundred, or u thousand times as much ~
| the labor of others. W. II. BENSON.

SPRING TOILETS IN BLOSSOM.
Some of Which Are Picturesque and
Beautiful

Beautiful.
New YORK, May 2S-Spring toilets have
blossomed simultaneously with the trees,
and it may truly be said that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed as are many of
the women one sees nowadays in the streets.
Some of them of course are pretty and ele-
CANT, and alas! Others are neither the one
nor the other Think, to begin with, a pro-
test should be raised against the vivid and
unspeakably hideous shade of yellow-green
that is so largely used in new costumes, and
that makes the feminine wearers resemble
colossal South African parrots. ANY kind
of green, even the palest and most delicate
hue can only be worn by women of a certain
type. Those for instance who have skins
like ivory and reddish golden hair But
when 1t comes to the startling emerald tints
that compose the latest gowns it seems to
me that word of remonstrance is not ont
of place. The color itself is extremely beau
tiful on gIass-plot and lilac bush, but it is
nevertheless horribly ugly when put into
material at so much yard There is no
woman living to whom it is becoming Then
there is something else that appears to need
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The leg-of-mutton
sleeve is both picturesque and pretty on a
slim, youthful figure. But is that any rea-
son why every other fat woman one meets,
young orold as the case might be, should
have ridiculous puffs standing out on her
shoulders Like incipient wings. And then
what is the meaning OF those strange-look-
ing patches that appear at the tops of so
many arms-nondescript Communications,
neither puff nor slash, nor yet exactly
an Insertion, but n sort Of timid compro-
mise in which all three have a shares! 1t
does seem pity that with so much good
taste everywhere, and SO varied an assort-
ment of exquisite fabric which to choose in
the shops we should be compelled to see these
monstros,ties-a procession of green figures,
be-puffed, despatched and what is more, be-
bristled. Surely there is fitness to be OBJ
served in all things. CLARA LAMA.

"Only out to Gen. Smiths" replied the
boy.
